Try to relax right now and not be worried - you are going to get through this! If these are new issues for you that did not exist before you took Cymbalta, please get them checked out if you are not feeling better by the time you read this.
Many of us had the same feelings and fears of being permanently damaged, but go over the success stories - it does get better! Have faith, try to be calm and stay positive. What you were on Cymbalta for? For a pain condition or depression issues?

Regarding pain, I have a bad knee. Lifelong story I will spare you details of, but a few years ago in my already bad knee I tore my meniscus. I begged for pain killers and my ortho doc was very conserverative and said no. He recommended glucosamine sulfate with MSM and also the following (kids don't do this without your doctors advice): Every 6 hours take 2 (two) extra strength Tylenol in conjunction with 2 (two) ibuprophen. I took "generic" versions of each. Thought it would never work. A few hours after I tried it, it helped incredibly, I mean as well as "narcotic" drugs without the stoned feeling. I was amazed.
I lost my $4/cheap drug list, but there are some supplements available on it. Check and see if the Glucosamine is on that list. We all know the Tylenol and Advil aren't.
I hope that if you try the Ultram, it is beneficial to you. You help so many people here. Best to you!

I know! I've been reading articles about it, and they have "fun" little nick names, like "skittles" or "jellies" for prescription drugs, and these kids think they are safe. There is a commercial running right now, where a guy is standing in the morgue, between 2 bodies. He says, the kid on the right died from an overdose of illegal drugs, the kid on the left died from prescription drugs. He then asks, which one is more dead?

I think your warnings were clearly stated.
